Story
Harley is a sweet girl that needs a home where she is the only pet and where some time can be spent training her. She is bad around other pets and especially bad around children - SHE HAS BITTEN A CHILD BEFORE. We rescued her and she had previously been in a home in which she was badly abused. We managed to get her over some of her anxieties, but she still needs work. She is pad trained, but we weren't able to get her to equate outside and walks as time to go potty. She has storm and separation anxiety and doesn't do well in kennels or locked in a room. With a new dog joining our household soon, we just don't have the time or money to give her the training she needs. She is loving and cuddly and always excited to see you come home. She also seems to know when you're not feeling well or are in a bad mood and comes to be with you. If you have the time to train her, she would be a great dog for an older couple or single person that can give her a loving, patient home.

Story
He was giving to us by a co-worker 5 years ago. She was unable to care for him, so we offered to take him in. BoBo is 7 years old and is a really sweet boy. He is knows all of the basic commands. He does bark a lot if he hears the smallest noise. BoBo is very gentle, playful, obedient and loving. He needs some friendly and playful company. We would need a family that will ensure that he has his allergy medications filled on time. It becomes hard for him when he goes long periods without it. BoBo does have an extended nipple that hangs. It is not painful to him, but he will scratch at it if he allergies flare up. BoBo does NOT chew on shoes or furniture. I have never had any damages from him. He does love a good blanket in his bed. He will not play with toys, so don't waste the cash. We usually go to the Five Below store and get him comfort blankets.

"Hi, I'm Edgar Frog and I'm the sweet shy guy just waiting to be your ride or die. That's right, once I know you're my person, there's nowhere I want to be more than by your side. Sure, I love rolling around with my pup pals, but nothing beats snuggling right up next to you for a nice little nap. Plus I'm totally ready to tune in for your next Teams meeting, right by your side! I'm all about the love - foster mom says I may be vertically challenged, but I've got a heart bigger than dogs 10x my size! Added bonus? I'm a perfect gentleman, so no crate needed! Think you could be my happily ever after?"

Story
"Hi, I'm Lego, and I'm the silly sweetheart that's going to sweep you off your feet. I'm a total goofball who loves to play. Playing chase the Kong? Oh yah, that's probably my favorite game ever...but I'm a total homebody, too. Let's face it, Florida is pretty hot for rocking the social scene and hanging at home is just so much more fun. You, me, some pup pals at home? Nothing says "utopia" more than that! And, when the fun is all done - sign me up for some serious snuggles! I can't wait to find my happily ever after - think you could be the one for me?"
